One of my twitter friends and a fellow Auburn PR girl has been doing a 30 day challenge through her blog. I absolutely love the idea and will now be adopting the idea for myself. I haven't quite decided if I want to blog about it or if I just want to write the letters and keep them for myself, but I'm not easily embarrassed so I'll probably post them here :)
This concept is really simple, but so powerful. You have a list of people you will write letters to, some people you know, some people you wish you knew, people you once knew, and complete strangers. I think the idea is not only a great one, I think it is going to be a great way to reflect on the importance that people have in my life. Even a stranger can impact your day and make it or break it (despite what we try to let them do). So over the next 30 days (or let's face it, probably 60-90 days :)) I will be writing letters to people I love, people I hate, those who have hurt me, or those that made my day. I'm probably going to complete the list in my own way and write them out of order, but I will write at least one letter to each personl.
I want this time to be a time where I can reflect and grow as a person through the people in my life. I don't even know who I am going to write about for some of these, but others are obvious. I'm excited for this new journey of learning I will now embark on!
Below is the list:
Day 1 — Your Best Friend
Day 2 — Your Crush
Day 3 — Your parents
Day 4 — Your sibling (or closest relative)
Day 5 — Your dreams
Day 6 — A stranger
Day 7 — Your Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/love/crush
Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend
Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet
Day 10 — Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like to
Day 11 — A Deceased person you wish you could talk to
Day 12 — The person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain
Day 13 — Someone you wish could forgive you
Day 14 — Someone you’ve drifted away from
Day 15 — The person you miss the most
Day 16 — Someone that’s not in your state/country
Day 17 — Someone from your childhood
Day 18 — The person that you wish you could be
Day 19 — Someone that pesters your mind—good or bad
Day 20 — The one that broke your heart the hardest
Day 21 — Someone you judged by their first impression
Day 22 — Someone you want to give a second chance to
Day 23 — The last person you kissed
Day 24 — The person that gave you your favorite memory
Day 25 — The person you know that is going through the worst of times
Day 26 — The last person you made a pinky promise to
Day 27 — The friendliest person you knew for only one day
Day 28 — Someone that changed your life
Day 29 — The person that you want tell everything to, but too afraid to
Day 30 — Your reflection in the mirror

Dad
Another weekend, another trip away from Atlanta. I'm almost looking forward to a weekend in the city next weekend (it's been a while)!
While I am excited to be in Atlanta for a full weekend, I'm more excited to be home this weekend to spend Father's Day weekend with my Daddy.
What an amazing man he is. I'm so blessed to have a Father who would do anything for me and who has taught me so many things about life!
Thank you Daddy for teaching me to be compassionate, teaching me unconditional love, being so patient and for being the man you are!
I love my Dad!
(This is a picture of my Dad and brothers from my brother's wedding last weekend. Which was wonderful btw... post to come soon on that!)

Daily reminders that I'm getting older
I swear I think I get a daily reminder that I am getting old. I know I am still young, but sometimes I just wish I could go back to childhood (where it was simpler), high school (where everything seemed so easy) or college (an amazing time). Instead, I'm a college grad of almost 1.5 years, a 8-5 employee, a bridesmaid, a friend of a bride or groom, bill payer, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.
What I love though, is that some of the situations that make me feel like I'm becoming more and more of an independent adult also fill me with the joy of a child.
This past weekend was Jessica and Taylor Schach's wedding. What an amazing event. She looked beautiful and he was handsome as well. It was such a blessing to be a witness to one of the most important days of their lives. The joy I feel when my friends are getting married, having children, accepting job offers, is a feeling that I cannot even express. I love being a part of so many amazing events and no matter how adult I may be, it's never enough to take that joy away.
This coming weekend I will be watching my brother get married! Now that will be an event to remember. My first sibling getting married, my first sister-in-law! I cannot wait to have another sister. Meegan's pretty much been a member of our family for like 9 years now, but now it will be official. I sense tears of joy in my near future.
Here's a picture of the soon to be married couple
As for me, other than wedding attendance, my job is changing a little bit too! I will now be doing strictly account management now. No more database stuff and less training, I'm excited! So ready to start getting ramped up with my two regions (pretty much the right half of the US) I'll keep you updated!
